After
Facebooks´ Fail buying up Snapchat, the communications giant now
proceeds to attack and copied the successful App and provides this as
an extension of Instagram. This suggests Facebook two flys with one
stone. First, with this extension of Instagram, Facebook lunched a
big competitor for Snapchat and this maybe forced Snapchat out of the
market. Secondly, Instagram wins back again by the "live"
shots, that in recent months so desperately looking for,
authenticity. As with Snapchat only now taked shots (and also images
of the last 24 hours) could be uploaded to Stories and the app delete them
after 24 hours. Authentic and real, without Photoshop! But what
program is now better. I took a closer look at both and have come to
a pretty clear result:

While
one is in Snapchat usually found only by persons who know one, you
exhausted at Instagram Stories course of all the already acquired
Followers of the platform. The transparency of the contributions to
be achieved range is of course immensely higher than Snapchat.
Significant point for Stories 0:1.

Like Snapchat also Instagram Stories has various camera effects by swipe to the left.
In addition, you can add a text and drawings on the photo.
What is missing in Instagram are the AR effects which Snapchat have
made so famous. Rainbow unicorns or bee-voices goes until now only on
Snapchat. previously also the possibility prefabricated Stickers on
the image insert provides only Snapchat. therefore
Snapchat is definitely forward 1:1.

The
uplaod done in both programs directly via an integrated camera and
video function. Already in July Snapchat has it expanded by another
function, where you can now upload already been recorded and edited
images afterwards. Instagram Stories solves this more clever, in
which the program only the upload of pictures allowed, which were
recorded in the last 24 hours. Besides pictures Stories can also
access videos of Boomerang and Layout collage.there is a
difference even at the time. While you can choose exactly when
Snpachat an image will shown how many seconds should this be shown at
Instagram the photos have always the same length.I think here is therefore a draw
before 2:2.

I
remember it well when I used snapchat the first time. It was so confusiong I had to watch a couple of Youtube
videos to get the system known. Profile and personal information can be found with a wipe
down. with a swipe left can present stories of friends or indeed just
known retrieve how this but composed exactly no idea. With Instagram
function were of course included in the already existing and known
platform. New stories will be on the home page shown above with the
respective profile image and a colorful circle around it. Thus, the
stories are separated from "normal" Instagrma Feed. By
clicking on the profile screen, you can call the respective current
Storie a user. Also right on the profile can be called Storie. The
length of the stories are from a beam above recognizable. On snapchat there is a wheel on the right side. Sorry Snapchat, but
the point is definitely to Instagram Stories 2:3.

By
clicking on their Snapchat Story can consider the individual uploaded
photos separately. Here is also shown how many users have already
seen the file or did an screenshot of it. In addition, one can recognize
the individual users.Even with Instagram Stories can be
considered individually, the individual media files yet. Here the
user can see which these have been considered, but not who has it
made a screenshotUnlike Snapchat can at Instagramm individual
users are blocked, and are thus prevented from getting too personal
insights. Given Instagram has set up a self-setting page for stories.
But the point is also once again on Instagram Stories 2:4.

In
Sapchat exactly as with instagram stories a comment of each Snaps is
not possible. By means of a built-in function, however, the user can
directly send a message to the user. In both programs the user cannot comment the
Snaps in public. I am sorry, so there is no point
for both. Therefore, still 2:4 for Instagram Stories.

I
use Instagram Stories now over a week ago and am more than convinced
and used it already often and with more motivation than I have ever
used Snapchat. The better overview and condition are here definitely
an important factor. Above all, the better reach and control of the
story. I think I will though continue to use Snapchat, as witty Party
Video Gadget. Instagram has delivered with Stories definitely (be
careful personal opinion!) Better version of Snapchat! What do you
all mean?
